Okay, what’s going on?
Wednesday morning, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reported that the Arizona Cardinals had requested to interview Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley for their head coaching job, but Haley was happy with his job, and didn’t want to go anywhere else.
Hours later, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette tweeted this:
#Steelers President Art Rooney confirms that Haley is interviewing for #Cardinals job.

Rapoport also tweeted a quote from Haley’s agent, Jerome Stanley.
From Jerome Stanley, Todd Haley’s agent: “The report is wrong. I stand by my statement. Period. You can report that!” Saying no interview

And then had a short commentary on Bouchette’s report.
This is unreal. RT @edbouchette #Steelers President Art Rooney confirms that Haley is interviewing for #Cardinals job.

So, which is it? There has been no comment from any Cardinals personnel.
Arizona has been seeking a head coach since December 31, when they fired Ken Whisenhunt following a 5-11 season.
Haley served as the Cardinals offensive coordinator from 2007 to 2008.
Defensive coordinator Ray Horton has interviewed for the job, as has Denver Broncos offensive coordinator Mike McCoy. Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden is scheduled to be interviewed later this week.
